What is a Digital X-Ray?
Digital X-ray is an advanced imaging technology that provides high-resolution images of the bones and soft tissues in the feet and ankles. Unlike traditional X-rays, which use film, digital X-rays capture images electronically, allowing for faster processing, enhanced clarity, and reduced radiation exposure.
Why are Digital X-Rays used in Podiatry?
Digital X-rays are an essential tool for diagnosing and treating a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including:
Fractures & Bone Injuries – Identifies broken bones and stress fractures.
Arthritis & Joint Conditions – Detects signs of joint damage and inflammation.
Heel Spurs & Plantar Fasciitis – Assesses bone growth and soft tissue issues.
Bunions & Hammertoes – Helps evaluate foot deformities and structural abnormalities.
Infections & Cysts – Identifies foreign objects, infections, or abnormal growths.
Benefits of Digital X-Rays
Quick & Accurate Diagnosis – Provides instant images for faster treatment planning.
Lower Radiation Exposure – Safer than traditional X-rays with reduced radiation levels.
Enhanced Image Quality – Clearer, more detailed images for precise evaluation.
